Posted on by Ezen 20

Hi 

I was posting Opening balance for a new company setup.

However, error message popped up: 

Document No. GLOB2019 is out of balance by 3,587,431.59. Please check that Posting Date, Document Type, Document No. and Amount are correct for each line.

Attached please find the journal excel template for upload use.

GL-OB-81-revised.xlsx

    Hi Ezen,

    Is SGD is your LCY under General Ledger Set-up?

    Just remove the Currency Code and try to post.

    Also, you can remove the Amount (LCY) column on your template.

    Please click Yes if it resolves your issue.

    Thanks.

    Hi John

    Appreciate your prompt support.

    Yes, SGD is LCY under GL set up.

    I did try your suggestions by removing both Currency code and Amount (LCY) column in my template.

    However, "Amount (LCY)" gets automatically populated in the Journal Batch.

    Kindly advise.

    Thanks a lot.

    Regards

    Ezen

    Hi Ezen,

    Try using Debit and Credit instead of AMount.

    Thanks.

    Your Opening Balance is not balance. The sum of Amount and Amount (LCY) field must be zero.

    Hi

    Thanks for your input.

    However this journal is about uploading of opening balances, not double entries.

    Henceforth the Amount & Amount (LCY) field will not zerorised.

    Hi,

    All journal must be balance. I think you better check with your accountant, they should be able to explain it to you.

    Just had this same error.  Needed to fill out the Balancing GL account for the initial load to put the values into. We created one dummy account just for that purpose for the initial load and put that into there.
     
    It all worked out.
